I knew Don during the time he was at St. Paul's back in the 1970's. We became friends and did quite a few things together. I have quite a few memories of Don at school and the family home on Wellington Crescent. We lost touch after he went to the University of Winnipeg which was unfortunate. He was a nice guy. - Posted by: Phil Mowatt (friend and former student at St. Paul's high school) on: Jan 18, 2012
